Based on reviews and food photos we were excited to try this place. I honestly don’t like to give bad reviews but so much was wrong with our experience here. For starters the ice water, ice tea and even my cocktail tasted of strong chlorinated water. Probably the worst Margarita I’ve ever had. Long wait time for our meal. They didn’t bring our appetizer out before our meal. We had to ask for it when we were served our entrée. Worst Brussels Sprouts appetizer we’ve ever had. Not the typical crispy edges and saucy. My husband asked for bacon added to his burger, it wasn’t. My husband and my fries were literally lukewarm. The shoestring fries would of been really good had they not been lukewarm which is inexcusable. The burgers were bland and dry. Even the toppings didn’t help that much. All this on a Monday around 3:30 pm and not that busy. There were some people who came in after we did that were served first. No booths only high top tables, regular tables with wooden chairs and bar seating. Won’t be going back. Very disappointing.

Im gonna give this place what it deserves with the hope it doesn’t get ruined with popularity. Been here twice. Both times the service was great but the food was incredible. Sure there are 50 beers on tap but the food. Pizza…amazing. Smash burger…more amazing. Pretzel bites with the homemade mustard… wow.

Everything from the service to the food was absolutely wonderful. Oliver and Malachi we’re very accommodating and providing excellent customer service. The bacon hamburger was delicious, so was the espresso monk_tini & the old fashion. This spot was a five minute walk from my hotel so that made it perfect.

The food was excellent I tried their bacon jam burger with a fried egg I have to say is the best burger I ever had. Even their risotto tots was excellent as well if you want to going somewhere with a partner or with a group of friends this place to come. Even plus that I will recommend the risotto tots as an appetizer and the bacon jam burger with the fried egg as your entree.

Located on the corner of Michigan Ave and Eastern Ave just north of downtown Grand Rapids, is a great spot for a happy hour or social gathering. Naturally bright atmosphere with many tables to accommodate small and large groups and the music selection was eclectically entertaining. Party tried a few happy hour items (smashburger, cheese curds and pretzel bites); all unique in their recipes and served with tasty sauces. Service was very friendly and attentive. Would go back to try other items on their main menu or for their happy hour deals.

Great burger with an amazing bun. Check out their weekly special burgers.
– Greasy Spoon Double Smash Burger – $10 (Monday special): Yummy. The Nantucket bun was the star of this show. It was soft, but full. Sweet, yet savory. Of the restaurants I’ve tried with Nantucket bread, this one takes the cake (umm…that came out wrong).
The burger is an absolutely true smash burger. It was thinly and quickly grilled to give it that unique caramelized smash burger flavor. It had the seared taste and crispy texture and yet was still plenty juicy. The cheese was melted amazingly well, too.
The toppings were unique compared to other restaurants. It had a “Secret Sauce” that had a chunk of something in it. I want to call it horseradish or thousand island, but I am not sure. The red onion, and romaine lettuce were fresh and added that crunch I love.
Overall, it was a good burger and getting the Monday or Happy Hour special is a SUPER value. They also have a different burger every week so keep an eye on their Facebook page for that.
– Shoestring Fries (comes with the burger): Shoestring fries are my favorite. These are battered, which makes these unique. They were fried to a perfect crisp and tasted great. There was a bit too much salt, but it was still okay. I don’t usually eat my fries with ketchup, but this time it tasted great with the fries. They were cooling a little toward the end so eat them fast.
– Pretzel Bites – $7: Puffy but full bodied. They are fried to a nice mild crisp while still remaining plenty soft (even the most burnt one). The parmesan is the “icing” on top and made it shine. A bit on the salty side.
The Beer Cheese Sauce was VERY runny and difficult to manage, but okay. The Jalapeno Honey Mustard was also very runny. It had a nice little kick (500 Scoville or less if I had to guess). Both complemented the bites fairly well. I’d go with the cheese myself, but not by a wide margin.
The food overall was on the salty side.
– Service: Good and positive. We were taken care of until our second glass of water. We seemed to fall off the map at that point. I think they were trying to get people cycled through as there isn’t a ton of room? They still took our dishes and handed us the check as expected, but I could have used another water before leaving.
– Atmosphere: Modern upscale bar that plays loud music. There are classic books on the shelves including War and Peace (which I am currently reading). The seating is mainly wood chairs that are normal or bar stool height with tables to match.
– Conclusion: I’d go back, but under certain conditions. I like a quiet place to talk and this is not that. This is more of an ongoing party.

Excellent food and beverages here. Our party of 4 all tried different things and we all agreed on the great food quality and friendly staff. Some vegetarian options too. Coke products served here along with various beers and hard liquor. Seats are hard so bring a cushion if you plan to be there longer that 30 minutes.

We hosted a surprise birthday party here and had THE best experience. Our guests raved about the food (specifically the pizza, cheese curds and sweet potato waffle fries). Excellent drink menu with lots of variety, and the service was top notch. Steve was very accommodating and super easy to work with. Bri/Bree went above and beyond to make sure our event was special and I’ll forever be grateful that she took the time to make our special occasion memorable. It was absolutely perfect. Thank you, 7 Monks!!! ❤️

Good selection of beverages and several non-beer options. Cheese curds were the best appetizer we ordered, very good. Mini fried pickles were fine, and sweet potato waffle fries were slightly overcooked, making them tough. Smash Burger was good. Husband liked his bacon jam burger.

Great place to go and hang out. Staff is always super friendly, and so many different beers to try! Great for any week night or just a casual lunch.
